Pembine, WI and surrounding area

Hello, we will be staying at the Four Seasons Island Resort in Pembine (nice place, were there last year) near the border of the UP. Any recs for food in Pembine and the surrounding areas? Also the border area of WI and the UP? Any and all cuisines welcome. Thanks in advance!

    If you wish to explore Michigan, you could check out the Island Resort and Casino in Harris, which is about 20 miles from the Four Seasons. I ate at the Casino last month and had the locally caught walleye - it was good.

    If you make it to Escanaba (a little further west on US 2), I like the Hereford and Hops Brewpub there. Again, I recommend the local fish options - walleye and lake trout, if it's available.

      Thank you! I agree about the local fish - I love Walleye!
      We will also be driving across WI from Hayward to Pembine, so any recs for nearby places are also welcome! Thank you again!

      I'm interested in this as well since I will be there friday and saturday nights this weekend.
      However, the other threads about eating in the UP (Iron Mountain) leave me with little hope.
